Rust 1.94.0 has been released! đ đŠ âš
A few highlights are array_windows() and element_offset() on slices, Peekable::next_if_map(), LazyCell::get and friends, and the new `include` key in config.toml to include other toml files!
Check out the blog post for details: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/05/Rust-1.94.0/

wffl@im-in.spacehey uhhh. I got fired yesterday. if anyone has rust positions in the Netherlands let me know!
update: for context, I'm a compiler witch and a member of the Rust compiler team. I've worked on a bunch of cool stuff in rustc, including "the never type", "tail calls", and "trait upcasting". See my github (I also accept sponsorships if you feel like it :D). Didn't expect this post to blow up way past my circle of friends

erkFound out out the other day that
for i in 0u8.. {
println!("{i}");
}
Will loop for ever, so I made a lint to protect against that https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/16257

Side-note for anyone publishing a larger set of crates at once, cargo-release seems to have some issues with ordering them in ways that allow them to be published one after another. When I ran that publish step above I had to re-run cargo release a good 5 or 6 times to get everything released, and even then the tags are a bit messed up.
Next time I probably figure out my own scrips and switch to just use the new --workspace for cargo publish.

behdad@typo.socialIn June, we announced HarfRust, a fully safe port of #HarfBuzz to Rust. At that time, HarfRust was 2x to 4x slower than HarfBuzz for a variety of benchmarks, so we have been working on addressing that.
Today, Chad Brokaw and I are pleased to present HarfRust 0.2.0, which is less than 25% slower than HarfBuzz, on both OpenType and AAT shaping benchmarks. We have also addressed all known correctness issues.
